Fencing installation is setting fence posts into the ground, usually in concrete, and fixing panels or boards between them to mark a boundary, add privacy or keep children and pets in, with gates fitted where access is needed.

Homes in Northumberland
Stone dominates rural Northumberland, from sandstone farmhouses and villages to fortified bastle houses in the uplands. Alnwick, Hexham and Morpeth have historic stone centres, Berwick has Georgian streets, and south-east towns such as Ashington, Blyth and Bedlington have colliery terraces. Cramlington grew from the 1960s with planned estates.
The coast is exposed to cold North Sea winds, and the Cheviots and higher moorland see snow and hard frosts in winter.
So when we survey a Bedlington property for new fencing and gates, the first step is working out how it was built and what has been changed since.
Do you need permission in Bedlington?
Planning law differs across the UK. For a home in Bedlington, it is the England rules below that count, and we check them with the council ahead of any quote.
In England, fences, walls and gates up to 2 m high are usually permitted development, or up to 1 m where they are next to a road used by vehicles or its footpath. Listed buildings, conservation areas and estates with planning conditions can be stricter.
Building Regulations do not apply to ordinary garden fences, but boundary lines should be agreed with your neighbour first.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.

How we work
Fencing and gates in Bedlington: questions
How do I make my fence last longer?
A fence lasts longer when timber is kept off the soil and protected from moisture. Gravel boards beneath the panels, concrete posts and keeping plants and soil away from the fence all help. Treat timber with a preservative or stain every few years, and replace damaged boards promptly. Composite fencing needs only occasional washing.
How much will new fencing and gates cost in Bedlington?
As a guide, expect to pay £1,100–£2,700 including VAT for new fencing and gates in Bedlington. That range is adjusted for the North East, which runs about 10% below the national guide. Where your project lands depends on size, materials, access and the condition of what is already there. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey of your home.
Who owns the fence between me and my neighbour?
Fence ownership is usually shown on the title plan or deeds, sometimes with a T mark on the side of the owner. If it is unclear, it may be shared. Even on your own boundary, it is sensible to talk to neighbours before replacing a fence, agree access and confirm the line. We fit the fence on the line you confirm and can face the good side outwards if you wish.
How long does it take to replace a fence?
Replacing a typical 20m garden fence usually takes one to two days, including taking down the old fence, setting posts in concrete and fitting panels or boards. Longer runs, slopes, hard ground and gates take longer. Post concrete needs time to set before panels are fully loaded. We give you an expected timeline with your quote.
Is the price fixed?
Yes, for the specification we agree. Your written quote sets out exactly what is included at a fixed price. It only changes if you ask for something different, or if a problem the survey could not reasonably reveal later needs extra work. In either case we explain the change and confirm it in writing before going ahead.
